I also leaned that you can wear a nice thick pair of socks and wellies to
keep the tootsies warm !

You can get flexible neoprene wellies that will pack down rather smaller
than the traditional flavour and are very popular in TSKC. Knoydart
stock them, but of course at Knoydart they cost at /least/ twice what
they're available at MEC for, so if you're off to Canada or have a pal
that is then that's a possible piece of shopping for them to pick up on
your behalf (I have 3 wooden canoe paddles from MEC, each of which
costing about half of what the equivalent would be in the UK).
